Black Ops 7 fans could have been tempted by this limited edition graphics card, but I doubt you'll stand a chance of buying it — and no, it isn't NVIDIA this time

ASUS AMD TUF Gaming Radeon RX 9070 XT graphics card with Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 branding.

If you're in the market for a new GPU and you happen to be a Call of Duty fan, then this Radeon RX 9070 XT would probably pique your interest. It's a limited edition version of the latest offering from AMD with 16GB of VRAM, built by ASUS in its TUF Gaming subbrand, and wrapped with Black Ops 7 stylings.

Indeed, it's a fancy version of a high-end desktop graphics card that isn't from NVIDIA, for a change. The Radeon RX 9070 XT sits somewhere above the RTX 5070 and just below the 5070 Ti in terms of gaming performance, but leans on AMD's FSR 4 (now Redstone) tech for upscaling images and increasing framerates rather than NVIDIA's DLSS suite.

Essentially, what you're physically getting is a variant of AMD's GPU with some fancy stickers over the top, but it's bundled with a digital copy of the standard PC version of Call of Duty: Black Ops 7. So, it's sort of strangely aimed at gamers who aren't already playing the latest CoD entry, but who are fairly confident they'll want branded components.

Where can you buy it?

The only problem with this limited edition GPU is that it's supposedly limited to 1,000 units, and even those will be restricted to "select retailers around the world." Obviously, the next question would be "which retailers?", but therein lies the real mystery — I can't find this thing at any of my usual haunts.

Best Buy? Nope. Newegg? Nada. Surely, Micro Center? Negative.

If nothing else, you can enter a sweepstakes giveaway event themed around The Game Awards for a slim chance at winning the thing for free. It ends today, though, so if you're going to throw your hat in the proverbial ring, then now's the time to do it.

To make up for it, you do have a chance to win AMD's monstrous Ryzen 9 9950X3D gaming desktop processor, so at least that's something. You'll be responsible for any taxes due if you win, and AMD clarifies that "some items may have been opened and repackaged by vendor for photography purposes", so don't hold onto the notion that you could keep these things sealed and make a mint 10-20 years down the line.

Are you going to enter the sweepstakes? Do you even care about Black Ops 7 at all? Let me know in the comments. I'm half tempted just to have a Radeon card for a change, since I usually stick with NVIDIA and Intel Arc.
